Iain McNicol responds to reports on party restructure

Responding to recent reports of staff unease over the reorganisation of the Labour Party, General Secretary Iain McNicol has released the following statement:

“It is right that the Labour Party is changing. Under the leadership of Ed Miliband and myself we are building an organisation which will work across Parliament, Labour HQ, the nations and the regions as one team with one purpose: to win the next election.

“It is our political opponents in the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats who resist change.

“I know the Labour Party’s staff are not only our most important asset but that they are also fully committed to the changes we are making to improve our capacity to campaign and get back into government as soon as possible.”
